Being overweight

A short, fat guy can be much healthier than men much taller and leaner. Genes, hormonal imbalances, and even viruses are now acknowledged to play a role in obesity. Eating less and working out more, in fact, don’t have nearly as much to do with weight loss as you might assume. This is all counter to what people think they know, often when they see a fat person they think that person is lazy, but that is not the case often. Some people just have more fat cells, even if you have lost a few kilos, your fat cell count remains. They hold tight to the fat already present inside and forever thirsting to be filled with more. The best way to cut down on these fats is to undergo weight loss surgery houston. This helps obese people to cut out their fats and slim down.

The cells rate of growth may be faster too-even if kids cut back on calories.

Hull holds Chelsea

Football
Chelsea missed the chance to go four points clear at the top of the English Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Hull on Tuesday. Defender Steven Mouyokolo gave Hull a surprise lead in the 30th minute and, although Didier Drogba equalised 12 minutes later with his 20th goal of the season, Chelsea was unable to convert concerted pressure into more goals.
The draw left Chelsea on 55 points, two clear of defending champion Manchester United. Both teams have played 24 games, the same as third place Arsenal, which was another four points back and playing Chelsea on Sunday. Chelsea had already missed a couple of chances when Mouyokolo got his first goal for Hull. The central defender out-jumped a cluster of Chelsea defenders including John Terry to head in a corner by Stephen Hunt.
But Chelsea continued to press and Drogba, playing his first Chelsea game in a month following his stint at the African Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, scored direct from a free kick just outside the area. Jozy Altidore missed with a header for Hull and teammate Amr Zaki troubled the visiting defence, but Drogba missed at the other end as the home team held on for a valuable point in its fight against relegation. Hull was still in the relegation zone but was level on 21 points with the three teams immediately above it.

Telephones are a gift

As my friend Sara’s daughter went abroad for her higher studies, Sara was really upset as she has not parted with her daughter for more than a few days. Sara first hesitated to send her daughter away for her studies, but her daughter convinced her. She explained to her that Sara can call her over the telephone, whenever she was free. There was no need to worry about high telephone bills, as the prepaid phone cards are cheaper. Sara can talk to her daughter whenever she wants to talk at a very reasonable rate. Even though mother and daughter are separated by thousands of miles, they are always in touch with each other and talk about their daily activities. Telephone has made their lives easier. Sara eagerly waits for her daughter’s telephone call every night.
This is the case of many parents who send their children away from home, for their higher studies. Telephones are a great gift to these people who live away from their near and dear ones. They are bonded together by the telephone without which their lives would have become harder.

Paes – Black clinch mixed doubles title

MAX — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:46:32 +0000

Leander Paes equalled the record for most number of Grand Slam title triumphs by an Indian as the veteran and his Zimbabwean partner Cara Black clinched the Australian Open mixed doubles championship with a straight set win in Melbourne on Sunday.
Top seeds and favourites, the 36-year old Paes and the 30-year-old Black beat 10th seeds Ekaterina Makarova of Russia and Jaroslav Levinsky of Czechoslovakia 7-5, 6-3 in just about one-and-a-half hour. The triumph gave the Indian his 11th overall and fifth mixed doubles title. With this Paes has equalled one-time doubles’ partner Mahesh Bhupathi’s tally.
The last couple of times they reached a Grand Slam final, Paes and Black ended up on the losing side and eager to make amends for that, they were dominant from the word go. This is Paes and Black’s second title together, the first being the 2008 U.S. Open. Paes thanked the fans and Black for their support after the win.
His 11th Grand Slam title has only whetted Leander Paes’ appetite for success and the Indian ace said he remained a “student of tennis” who drew inspiration from Roger Federer and strived for perfection.

Roger Federer extends record to 16 Grand Slam titles

MAX — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:31:53 +0000

Roger Federer dismantled Andy Murray in the Australian Open final on Sunday to extend his own record to 16 Grand Slam titles and prolong the British drought. Federer collected his fourth Australian Open title with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(11) win at Rod Laver Arena that, apart from the tiebreaker, lacked the drama and raw emotion of his five-set loss here last year to then No.1-ranked Rafael Nadal.
Last year, Federer sobbed when Rod Laver presented the trophy to Nadal, having missed a chance to equal Pete Sampras’s record 14 career majors. This time, Murray was on the verge of tears, drawing deep breaths as he apologised for failing to end a 74-year old drought for British men at the Grand Slam tournaments. Federer saved five set points and wasted two match points in the tiebreaker with some uncharacteristic shot selection before clinching it when Murray netted a backhand after two hours, 41 minutes. Murray was desperate to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win one of the four tennis majors, but seldom had the answers to Federer’s unrivalled finals experience. He had set a record for British men just by reaching two major finals in the Open era.

Australia lifts Under-19 World Cup

Cricket
Australia lifted the Under-19 Cricket World Cup after putting up a fine all-round performance to beat Pakistan by 25 runs in a low-scoring final on Saturday. Put in, Australia posted a competitive 207 in 50 overs and then skittled out Pakistan for 182 in 46.4 overs.
Pacer Josh Hazlewood’s four-wicket haul and left-arm spinner Luke Doran’s three scalps brought about the downfall of Pakistan. Chasing 208 to win, the Pakistan batsmen could not capitalise on their starts and the team kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Skipper Azeem Ghumman top-scored with a 90-ball 41, which included just one four.
The only partnership that gave Pakistan’s total some respectability was the 54-tun first wicket stand between Ahmad Shahzad (36) and Muhammad Babar (28).
